A large hall with cream walls, a suspended ceiling with rows of lights, and red curtains on the windows shows a seated assembly of devotees on the floor. In the foreground, women in orange and red saris with rudraksha malas sit cross-legged, several with vibhuti or kumkum marks on their foreheads, some holding small brass plates and offering trays. Behind them, rows of people in white clothing sit on the floor and in chairs along a roped-off aisle. Pale orange and red mats and cushions cover the floor, and a woman in an orange sari with a long white-streaked braid sits near the centre of the front rows. The scene appears to be a satsang or group meditation gathering.
